Ingredients
400g McDougalls '00' Extra Fine Premium Plain Flour, plus extra to dust
7g sachet Asda Easy-Bake Yeast
1tsp sugar
4tsp rapeseed oil
400g can Napolina Cherry Tomatoes in Rich Tomato Juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2tsp mixed dried herbs
125g pack Asda Light Mozzarella, torn
10g basil leaves
Method
1
Put the flour, yeast and sugar into a bowl, then make a well in the middle. Add 300ml slightly warm (not hot) water.
2
Add the oil. Bring the mixture together with a wooden spoon until it forms a soft, sticky dough.
3
Knead on a floured surface for 6 mins until smooth. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise a little. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put the tomatoes, garlic and herbs in a large pan and season with black pepper. Simmer for 10 mins or until thickened. Set aside.
4
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Stretch the dough into 2 round pizza bases about 5mm thick. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper, sprinkle lightly with flour then lay the bases on top.
5
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the bases.
6
Top with the mozzarella and basil. Bake for 12-18 mins until the crust is crisp and golden. Serve immediately.
